4 Finest International Airlines for First and Company Class Trips
If you have ever had a long-haul trip across the Atlantic or Pacific, you understand how tiring it can be, with or without the ability to sleep on the plane. But what if you could ensure you arrived at your destination relaxed and ready to go?
Traveling in business or first class is the key to making this happen. However, not all business and first-class products are created equal. Here are four international airlines offering travelers the best flight deals for business and first-class:
Emirates
Several years ago, Dubai-based Emirates introduced its Boeing 777-300ER first class. This was the first time an airline had offered a fully enclosed first-class product that provided travelers with complete privacy. The suite is spacious, with a large television and an extremely comfortable bed. As an Emirates first-class customer, you’ll also receive Bulgari amenity kits, Bowers & Wilkins E1 headphones, and pajamas infused with vitamin E and olive oil to help your skin stay hydrated as you sleep. Emirates also offers a first-class product on its Airbus A380s, which includes a shower spa for passengers to freshen up before reaching their destination.
Lufthansa
Lufthansa has always had some of the nicest business and first-class cabins. They have introduced a new line of Allegris First Class on Boeing 787-9s and Airbus A350-900s. The Allegris first class offers two different options: The First Class Suite with a privacy door, a 32-inch 4K TV, and an extra-wide seat that converts into a bed; and the First Class Suite Plus with two connected extra-wide seats that convert into a double bed at night and a 41-inch 4K TV.
Singapore Airlines
Singapore Airlines’ first-class suites on the Airbus A380s provide a luxurious experience. Each aircraft has six cabins on the upper level, offering more square footage than other first-class products. The suites include a seat and a bed, with the option to combine suites for a double bed. Passengers can enjoy a wide selection of champagne and cuisine, along with the opportunity to “Book the Cook” and choose from premium main courses.
Air France
Air France’s first-class product on the Boeing 777-3000ER prioritizes excellent food and luxurious bedding. While not fully enclosed, the suites feature a wraparound curtain. Air France is known for offering some of the best food among international airlines, ensuring passengers arrive well-rested even on long flights.
